Willow Creek

10-542

Side posts, king posts and struts frame the entry of this stunning home with a vaulted hexagonal living space at its core. A gas fireplace is on the left; kitchen and nook are on the right. Double atrium doors open onto a wide patio that spans the rear. The vaulted owners' suite boasts its own fireplace plus a deluxe bathroom and huge walk-in closet.

While the view from the street is striking, the interior view is nothing short of breathtaking.

The Willow Creek has the look of a contemporary lodge-style home with a multi-angled crest at center. Highlighted by the side posts, king posts and struts framing the entry, that peak is an external reflection of the vaulted hexagonal living space at the home's heart.

Natural light washes into the vaulted foyer through wide sidelights and a gabled transom. A few steps past the wide coat closet, the great room spreads out under a soaring hexagonal ceiling. Windows fill most of the three rear wall sections. Double atrium doors at center open onto a wide covered patio that adds an abundance of outdoor living space.

Eye-catching stone veneer backs a gas fireplace to the left, next to a passageway that leads to the deluxe owners' suite and a good-sized utility room. A gourmet galley kitchen and sun-washed nook are on the right. They are delineated by a drop in ceiling height to a flat nine feet, but otherwise open to the vaulted great room. A raised eating bar rims one side of a work island with a prep sink.

Four deep rooms fill the Willow Creek's right wing. The first is a bedroom and the second is a bathroom with a clawfoot tub. The third could be either a bedroom or a home office. And the last is a spacious mudroom with a wide sink, a surprising clawfoot tub, and a long bench for removal and storage of grungy foot gear. This room has direct access to both the garage and the exterior.
